I did not see the ad, but I did ask Hasbro for a replacement set of middle legs and got them in about a month at no cost.
I asked as well and am being told I'll get something "worth equal value"...
That's lame. I can see substituting a broken figure with a figure of similar value but to not 'make it right' with regards to a $100 toy is reprehensible.
I just picked up some of that clear tubing for $1.69.Looks like it will work but we shouldn't have to fix it to begin with.
Any pictures of this Costco one with included figures?
